In this series, expect some longer posts that are more opinion based on the business side of development. Anything from salary to teamwork to mentorship!
tldr; when a teammate comes to you for help with a problem, be sure not to write it off as a small or minute issue even if it appears to work normally in your environment or machine. There may be factors you are unaware of and leaving the conversatio...
In the world of web development using C#, the Response.Redirect method is a common way to guide users to different pages within a web application. However, there's a glaring issue that we need to address: the second parameter, which introduces unnece...

Ever need to trap the focus of the browser to a modal, a tour guide, or something else while trying to balance accessibility? I am far from an expert, but one thing I found on StackOverflow that helped me was this snippet from Shane McCurdy from th...

The Intro We had a dilemma today of an issue found in our code that needed to be fixed. After some time hunting I was able to find a distinct "this is good" reference in time and a distinct "this is not good" reference - but had no idea which commit ...

Introduction Ideally - we want our components to be kinda "dumb". Mostly just displaying data or gathering input from the user - the front end components shouldn't be smart enough to know what to do with said info once they have it. Usually this mea...

"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one." - George R.R. Martin
As developers our lives are FILLED with constantly learning new things. Be it a new programming language, new best practice or new framework - to name just a few!
After some time digging into a few books, here are some that I highly recommend you explore this year! If you have listen to my most recent podcast, Episode 10 "New Year, New You" (and if not, you should really give it a try), you might be looking around for options on what sort of books might be worth looking into!
Here is a short list of a few books I highly recommend!
This book is excellent, many short chapters about how to start a project, work under managers, find the right tools for the job and work as a team.
Another great book to read as a software developer, Robert C. Martin gives tips and tricks for anything from naming variables, organizing functions, writing unit tests, good vs. bad comments, error handling and more.
A book I haven't seen too much buzz about myself, but a very handy book for those developers who want insights into focusing, negotiating salaries, productivity, finances and more! Not so much technical - but being a developer is more than just 0s and 1s!
And thats it! If you found any of these useful, or have recommendations for others, let me know in the comments!
